Story
Gunner has been a great dog and part of our family since he was a puppy. Hes about 8 years old. Between work, 5 kids, costs, and not having the room and space to accommodate him properly at our house, we decided rehoming him to a good, loving home where he can get the love and attention he deserves would be the best thing.

Story
***Out-of-Town Pet*** Hansel is currently in Crosby TX but is available to be transported to his forever home! Allow me to introduce you to Hansel, an exceptionally handsome boy with a charming personality! His loving and loyal nature makes him a true companion, always eager to be by your side. Hansel is like a gentle giant, embodying the spirit of a big baby who craves affection and attention. One of his adorable quirks is his habit of carrying around a soft toy, which he enjoys sucking on as he moves about. This comforting habit brings him a sense of security, no matter where he goes. Hansel loves engaging in playful antics with his other foster siblings, showcasing his friendly and sociable demeanor. However, he’s equally content to lounge around the house, soaking up the atmosphere while you handle your daily tasks. Whether he’s playing or relaxing, Hansel’s warm-hearted presence is sure to bring joy to everyone around him! This wonderful dog deserves a loving forever home! If you're interested in giving him the love and attention he truly deserves, please feel free to reach out. If you're not able to adopt him, consider sharing this with a friend who might be a good fit for him. We can also arrange a meet and greet! He is neutered, microchipped, kennel trained, up to date on vaccinations, and great with other dogs. He has been fantastic with everyone he has met, including children. If you're ready to welcome this sweet, handsome boy into your home, please fill out the form through the link below, and we’ll get back to you promptly. https://form.jotform.com/241765023842152 As part of our adoption process, we are committed to ensuring that this is the perfect match for both you and the animal. Finding your forever best friend is our priority, and we appreciate your trust in us to facilitate this important decision. When introducing other animals in your home, we strongly recommend a thoughtful and gradual approach with all of our rescues. Keep in mind that not all dogs will get along. They have their own preferences, just like people do. The same goes for interactions with children; it's crucial to prevent overwhelming the adopted animal during the first meetings. Take the time you need to assess how they interact. Please be aware that all adoption fees are classified as donations to support our mission and organization. If the dog is returned for any reason, the donation will not be refunded, as we will incur costs for their transportation back to us. Thank you for your understanding and for making a difference in the life of a rescue animal!

Story
***Out-of-Town Pet*** McLovin is currently in Crosby TX but is available to be transported to his forever home! Allow me to introduce you to McLovin, a charming and spirited pit bull-lab mix who will celebrate his 2nd birthday this coming January. He has a striking pure white coat adorned with tiny black dots at the very tips of his ears, which adds a unique touch to his appearance. More than just a pretty face, McLovin possesses an incredibly sweet disposition and a lively personality that makes him a joy to be around. McLovin's journey began when we rescued his mother from the streets, just one week before she gave birth to a litter of nine adorable puppies. From day one, we have lovingly cared for McLovin, who is the last remaining puppy from his litter. Unlike his siblings, who all found their forever homes through various adoption events hosted by another rescue, McLovin was adopted as a young puppy but sadly returned to us after only a few days. His new adopters felt that he was experiencing depression and insisted it was best to bring him back. However, it's important to understand that this response was completely normal; having spent his whole life in our care, McLovin was simply struggling to adjust to a new environment. In hindsight, it seems that it was fortunate for McLovin that he was returned, as it became clear that his previous adopters did not possess the patience or understanding required for a deaf dog. This handsome and lovable boy is now in search of a dedicated forever home where he can thrive and grow alongside a caring family. Despite his deafness, McLovin is not held back in any way. He is an energetic and playful dog who enjoys frolicking in the yard and exploring his surroundings. He eagerly engages with new friends, both human and canine. McLovin has an impressive eagerness to learn, and he responds enthusiastically to my silent commands communicated through hand signals. He has mastered several tricks, including sitting on command and giving high fives. Although he makes a genuine effort to stay in one spot when asked, his affectionate nature often leads him to seek out cuddles, hugs, and kisses, which is a testament to his loving spirit. Finding McLovin a remarkable and patient forever home is my ultimate goal, as he has so much love to give. If you are interested in bringing this sweet boy into your home and heart, please don't hesitate to reach out for more information or to arrange a meet-and-greet. Thank you for considering giving McLovin the loving family he truly deserves!

Story
On Sept 18, I rescued a 18 month old Pitbull after his owners split up. I had a fenced back yard and dog experience. In two months I have learned he did not have regular meals, was allowed to relieve himself inside and had no medical care. I got him seen by my vet, vaccinated and licensed. In two months he has gained 6 pounds weighing 66 lbs now. However, he is always hungry, has learned to go outside but not ask to go out to pee. His exuberance causes him to flail his front legs and scratch or bruise my arms, hand and legs even though I try to block him and give commands to stop jumping. He has had inflammation of his skin twice and is currently on antibiotics and steroids. He is sweet and wants held. I cannot. He needs a younger, more active and Pitbull-experienced owner to work with him. I have upcoming surgery which will not be performed if I have unhealed scratches and wounds. He deserves a good life. Neutering is scheduled in December. Help me to help him. I am 76.
